	<h3><a name="seismo">Seismo-Surfer Project Information</a></h3> <br/>
	
	Seismo-Surfer is a WebGIS application for integrating, visualizing and analyzing seismic data. Its main features are:<br/>
		  <ul>
			<li>GIS functionality: Tools for zooming, panning and navigating the map. Panel for controlling the layers and their properties. Dialogs for displaying feature attributes. Tools for setting projections, saving and printing map.<br />
			</li>
			<li>Queries for monitoring and analyzing earthquake activity: Range, Distance-Based, Nearest-Neighbour, Top-N e.t.c.</li>
			<li>Collection and integration of seismic data: Seismic data from web sources, multimedia data related with earthquakes, macroseismic data from the Athens Geodynamic Institute and administrative data are all integrated in a single database and are made available through the tool.</li>
			<li>A data mining module for knowledge extraction coming soon.</li>
		  </ul>
		  
	Seismo-Surfer is being developed at the 
	<a href="http://thalis.cs.unipi.gr/%7Eisl/db/">Department of Informatics</a>
	in the <a href="http://www.unipi.gr/eng_site/default.php">University
	of Piraeus</a> with the cooperation
	of the <a href="http://www.gein.noa.gr/index-en.htm">Geodynamic
	Institute</a> of
	the National Observatory of Athens. <br>
	People involved are <a href="http://www.unipi.gr/faculty/ytheod/">Asst.
	Prof. Yannis Theodoridis</a>, PhD
	student <a href="http://thalis.cs.unipi.gr/%7Eisl/db/people.html#makis">G.

		  <h3><a name="project">Project</a></h3><br>
			Seismo-Surfer is being developed and deployed using Java technologies
			(Swing, Servlets/JSP, JDBC e.t.c.), open source software (Apache
			Tomcat, OpenMap) and object-relational DBMS with support for spatial
			data types and operations (Oracle 10g with Spatial).<br>
			Source code and documentation will be available soon for download.<br><br>
